DisplayFusion 9.4 Beta 3 Now Available!

We're very excited to announce that DisplayFusion 9.4 Beta 3 is now available for download! This beta fixes an issue that's currently in Chrome dev channel, where Chrome is blocking hooks. DisplayFusion now uses alternate methods for features like TitleBar Buttons, Monitor Splitting, etc on Chrome windows now. We've fixed a bunch of other minor issues as well, please see the list below.

Important Notes!

The first time you open the Settings > Screen Saver tab, it might be very slow to open due to Windows Defender locking the .scr files for a long time during the initial scan

I see you now hook Universal Applications properly in Windows 10. That's great (I assume), but how do we detect a Windows 10 Universal Application opening and run a trigger to locate it to a set position? I have a bunch of functions defined for locations and they work flawlessly with regular apps and not one single Universal Application.

We can only hook the Universal application frames, not the apps themselves, so there's a bit of a trick when using Triggers with them. Set the Process Filename to C:\windows\system32\ApplicationFrameHost.exe, then set the Window Text condition to the name of the app. (e.g. "Calendar"). I've attached a screenshot for reference.
